I also bought this with a Godzilla toy that was in the same bin and made in a similar fashion…I still have both!

I still have this very same dinosaur–I got him at McCrory’s when I was a kid, and I remember him seeming so HUGE in my little hands. Even the display box he was in advertised them all as GIANT DINOSAURS.
His name is Thor, and for a while he sat on my desk at work…when I had a job.:(

@ Fae Cthulu – Funny that we both did the mouth chewing thing. A modern dinosaur toy would growl, animate and have a chewing action all activated by the press of a button. Also, it wouldn’t be hollow, because it’d be filled with electronics.

The more you know!

I would attack the Star Wars figures with it for some reason, and the simulated chewing mouth movement was a must for me too.
